Because Junior have a range of activties we encourage them to wear the GB uniform to protect their own clothes and school uniform. When they do some of the more messy acitvties like cooking or crafts, we have aprons for them to protect their GB Uniform. Wearing trainers or plimsoles during the evening mean they are always ready to join in a game, sport or learn a new dance.
